I don’t have a vagina so I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t like Twilight – no need to torture myself. Speaking of masochistic behavior - At what point does one say to one’s self, wow Holy Shit! every one of these Leprechaun films I’ve watched has been absolutely horrid, but maybe the series will redeem itself with the next entry?
Sorry, I kid....... I’m in one of my moods.
Been mostly watching flics with my kids - Ghostbusters, MIB, the new Blu-ray set of the Jurassic Park trilogy. If I can watch it with my kids I won’t count it as a horror film.
Brides of Dracula – dusted off my Universal Hammer set, one of my favorite vampire films from my favorite Horror studio. Every bit as good as Horror of Dracula even without Chris Lee, superb production values and my god the colors are a wonder to behold. Look ma! my DVD-18’s still work!
Vampire Cirus – finally got around to watching the Blu-ray. Doesn’t hold up well for me, a very weak story with poor production values masked by amped up gore and gratuitous nudity. A far cry from the studio’s glory days.
From Hell – I’m partial to Gothic period horror and this is one of (if not) the best “Jack the Ripper” flics. The conclusion of the Ripper’s motives are a bit farfetched but it’s a solid film with loads of atmosphere. Plus it’s a story from one of my favorite lunatic writers Alan Moore
The Lost Boys – Surprised how well this holds up, stylish and entertaining but don’t expect anything of substance. I place it behind Near Dark but ahead of Fright Night in the 80’s vampire film pantheon.
Poltergeist – Steven Speilburgs suburbanite horror holds up as a nasty flip-side to ET.
All are revisits except
Sre4m – The original film was somewhat entertaining and fresh at the time but I was never much of a fan of this series. Too many smarmy twentysomething’s that think they’re more clever than they really are, too many contrived situations, plus someone wearing a Halloween mask sporting a knife just doesn’t scare me in the least unless they can get up and walk away after unloading a .357 into their chest.
Lost track of my count and I'm too lazy to go find my last post. I'm probably in the lead though
